Doosan Heavy Industries Viet Nam Co. (Doosan Vina) has shipped reverse osmosis (RO) expansion racks and high pressure piping systems – equipment essential to desalination filter systems – to the Escondida Water Supply plant in Chile.

Doosan Vina said the 379-tonne shipment, which was loaded onto a ship at Dung Quat Port in Quang Ngai Province, will be installed at the Chilean water plant which supplies 220 million litres of water to over half a million people every day.

The equipment, produced at Doosan’s Quang Ngai based water plant is being exported following the Escondida Water Supply project agreement signed in 2017.

Doosan Vina is the first producer of RO desalination filter systems in Viet Nam. The company also produces and exports boilers for use in power plants, desalination plants and cranes, as well as chemical processing equipment for both local and foreign markets.

The company employs 2,500 local workers and finished 2017 with an export turnover of US$200 million. — VNS
